Can’t Be Funky
Do I really need any excuse to play the funky shit? I guess lately I’ve been feelin the need to go back to what got me into music in the first place. While I may not have grown up at the roller disco, I’ve always had a serious soft spot in my heart for those tunes. If you hear a deluge of disco edits and breaks start to flood this place, please excuse. On the flip side, if I start posting all the underground hip hop that I was obsessed with in the late 90’s and early 00’s, then feel free to stop me, cause most of that stuff can stay buried for a while longer without me complaining one bit. Also, some of these tunes today are at lower bit rates than I normally like to post, so if you have a nice clean rip at a higher rate, send it my way… Shout to my girl Leesie-bo for today’s epic graphic.
Brooklyn Express : You Need A Change Of Mind one of my favorite 12″s I’ve discovered so far this year. Marvin meets James Brown with Brooklyn boogie all over it
Imagination : Just An Illusion & So Good
Herbie Hancock : Stars In Your Eyes
Ozone : Strutt My Thang
Jimmy Bo Horne : Spank
Eddy Grant : Time Warp
yes, Metro Area’s “Muira” is a blatant rip-off (done well at least) of this classic. Used to rock this all the time…
Arts & Craft : I've Been Searching
I got hip to this one from disco digging kingpin Al Kent.
Cameo : The Sound Table
another old ‘secret weapon’ of mine that got a lot of spins when I first discovered it around ’03. Still sounding fresh.
Konk : Baby Dee
Bush Tetras : Can't Be Funky

I Love me some Jimmy Bo Horne! Check out his take on Let Me Be Your Lover. Serious dancefloor…

I’m sure you’re probably up on this already, but this is a fine, fine take on Illusion by everyone’s favorite Nordic disco gods: http://soundcloud.com/nico-s/imagition-just-an-illusion

Can’t get enough of Cameo…got all of their stuff. Brooklyn Express really hit the spot as did the little reminder of how good JBH is. Cheers

Thank you for this,
Funk is by far my favorite genre. Nothing like it. Ive been looking for “Just an Illusion” for awhile.
